Lou Reed - Tripitena's Speech Lyrics
[Spoken Track][Tripitena:]My loveThe king by any other name a pissoirYou, my love tower over them allthey are but vermin beneath your heelsThey are monkeysSuit them, frame them to your own visionbut do not let one false wordof mockery seep through to your vast heartI have seen you from close and afar and your worthfar exceeds your height, your widththe depth of your sorrowOh willful outcast doth thou not see the light of our loveour linked fortunesour hearts melded togetherinto one fine golden braided fineryThey listen to the music of idiots and amuse themselveswith the sordid Miseries of their businessesThey are not the things of angelsnor of any higher outpost that humanity might aspire toYour loathsome vomitousbusinessman king is of the lowest orderhis advisorscrumbling mockeries of education driven by avariceMy lovedress them in the suits of mockeryand in their advanced state of stupidityand senilityburn and destroy them so their ashes might join the compostwhich they so much deserveIf justice on this earth be fleetinglet us for once hear the weepingand the braying of the businessman kingLet them be the the orangutans they areand set them blazing from the chandelier for all to seehanging from the ceiling by their ridiculous chainsand petticoats which you will have them wearunder the guise of costumic buffooneryHe who underestimatesin time is bound to find the truth sublimeand hollow lie upon the grates of systemic disorderBusinessmenyou're not worth shitting on
